knife
(Fig.10-11)
The machine is equipped with two riving knives for the use of sawblades from 300 to 500 mm.
The riving knife has to be adjusted in such a way that over its entire length the gap between sawblade
and riving knife does not exceed min.3 mm and max.8 mm.
The riving knife can be adjusted in both vertical and horizontal direction.
The height setting has to be adjusted in such a way that the highest point of the riving knife never
exceeds more than 3 mm above the highest placed sawblade tooth.
After height adjustment always lock the central bolt (3) at a torque of 60 Nm. The 4 adjustment
screws (2) are used for the exact setting of the riving knife in line with the sawblade.
For slotting or grooving the riving knife has to be adjusted in such a way that the upper part of the
riving knife is never set lower than the highest saw tooth in use.
Never remove this riving knife. Kickbacks are severe and very dangerous.
